The 2.5 cambelt is easier, and takes much less time than the 3.0 one, because you don't have to take all the inlet out, etc.

Don't you fancy having a go yourself?

Due to global warming, our summers are, errr, cold. And wet. So somewhere indoors, and central was the hope.  The last one done on driveways (at my place and at Tunnies simulataneously) was too chaotic to be honest

You can get 3 cars side by side on my drive. But I'd love to see the neighbours faces with 50 cars waiting in the road for their turn!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Just thought ..... Knob Head next door has just moved out. There'd be room for 2 cars on his drive!  ;D  ;D   :y  :y

Not ideal, and several cars need to be done simultaneously to get through them all  :-/

Yes, Looknee is definately the one to contact. I recommend you get in touch with him if you can, he provides an excellent mobile mechanics service.

as mentioned the last one was held at TheBoys and mine at the same time, it was not good having 2 locations (even though they were just 1/2 mile apart)

My driveway holds 4 cars with another 2 in the garage.

We need another industrial unit, or a field  ::)
